I was considering a brand new Winnebago Trend until I started reading more into the initial problems they are having.
Its a new ProMaster chassis (Ttalian fiat, re-branded as Dodge, assembled in Mexico): coolant/radiator leaks, cabin/roof leaks, tpms issues, noisy breaks. Now this is a 92K MSRP rig. I can get it for $60,000
